Jaguar X-type detailed

[Number19]

Seems like nobody's posted a Jag so far, at least according to my limited memory. The colour of the Jag is a deep green, owner told me its Jaguar racing green, I checked online and it seems the colour is more likely to be 'Emerald Fire'. Whatever the name, its really a beautiful colour and it sometimes appears blueish Oops, back to the detail.

 

Process:

ONR

Clay/ONR

Rotary/light cut/OC

PC/light cut/OP

Poliseal by hand

Duragloss AW

Tyres/exterior plastic trim gets Poorboy's BnB

Chrome polisealed

 

At first sight, plenty of defects like etched watermarks, swirls, scratches and holograms. Its a case of the more you look, the worse it gets

 

 

Before Pics (it was very much worse)

The white stuff are deep scratches that require repainting.

Great job on the defects removal and the car sure looks shiny in the after shots. I believe the car will look even more stunning if you have shifted it out to the sun for the photo shots .

Nicely done And i love the last pic

[Coltagious]

Nice work bro!! If the car is shot with more lighting, would def look better

 

So, how "few" exactly is the hours u spend on this cat?

[Number19]

Thanks!

Defect removal not that perfect yet, due to many nooks and crannies. The Jag got some grooves along the sides which is pretty hard to polish properly.

 

Didn't shift the car mainly due to time constraints, will try to do that next time!

Haha good someone appreciate my photography 'skills'

 

Thanks bro!

[Number19]

Thx bro!

 

This large cat groomed by a sick guy down with cold so it took about 7 hrs plus. Let's just say a lot of time and tissues were wasted

 

I avoided getting into the cabin as much as possible and by the end of the detail, I just took shots of the cat there and then. Too shag to think I guess and rushing for time as well~

 

Will remember to take full sunshots in future!

Great work Bro

 

If you have shift the ride out to take the pics after you have done with, i believe the effect would be even more stunning
